“Interim CEO Mira Murati plans to rehire Sam and Greg, and is in talks with board rep Adam D’Angelo to do so (in what capacity is not yet finalized). However, concurrently, the OpenAI board is looking to hire its own CEO, and has reached out to two candidates that we’ve spoken to, both prominent execs”

I can’t imagine why any CEO would want to take the job and be Sam’s boss. There’s no way that goes well.
- brianjking 3y agoGotta love that Adam D'Angelo who has a clear conflict of interest with Poe to OpenAI's GPTs release from dev day is still on the board and is now somehow the one tasked with leading this negotiation from the boards side.
- jondwillis 3y agoLmao this just clicked for me. I was reading about the many iterations of OpenAI’s board’s various conflicts of interests. But I hadn’t used Poe and didn’t realize it was basically characters/Agents.
- brianjking 3y agoThat you can charge people to use, literally almost exactly what GPTs are (minus that those are supposed to be a revenue share from ChatGPT Plus subscribers). https://poe.com/earnings_tos https://poe.com/earnings_tos
- beeyaw 3y agoThere's no conflict of interest with (what he believes to be) OpenAI's principles and his job as a board member. There was no conflict in reality either until two weeks ago.
- hindsightbias 3y agoElon might be available.
- jatins 3y agoI am surprised we haven't heard that he's trying to insert himself into this somehow
- tayo42 3y agoThe reason he left in the first place was becasue they didn't want him to run it. He was on the board years ago.
- icy_deadposts 3y agoI think there is a consensus that developing AGI is the most important thing for the continued existence of human civilization. And we know a chair or table will not stand with just two legs. In fact some believe the USA grew into the most prosperous and powerful country because its founder were wise enough to design the government with three branches, each with their own powers and checks and balances between them. We have seen that Ilya and Sam can not work together on their own. With only two natural leaders, there is no way to solve any dispute, as voting would lead to a stalemate. I believe Elon has a lot to bring to the table here, he nearly perfectly fills in the deficiencies of the other two - Elon has a strong grounding in ethics and morals (consider how many of his ventures post Paypal have been to truly benefit human society rather than just make money) which I feel could rein in Sam's tendency to ruthlessly pursue profit with questionable morality - see WorldCoin. Additionally, I think his real world experience could counter-balance some of the naivete we've seen with Ilya since his rather sudden entrance into the spotlight. I truly hope the right people consider this and can convince Elon to step up and fulfill what may be considered his true potential.
- hindsightbias 3y agoSeems strange to me Elon would prioritize Twitter over the greatest threat/opportunity in humanity of AGI to Microsoft. Seems a bit Capt. Obvious, maybe he can get Ilya. "Replying to Nadella's post, Musk then wrote, “Now they will have to use Teams!"
- acyou 3y agoI interpret the article as saying she's working on rehiring Greg as president and Sam as CEO, in "parallel" with the board looking for a different CEO.
- kijin 3y agoMira Murati is interim CEO. Her job is to find [edit: not hire] a new CEO, after which she can either resign or return to her previous role.
- PepperdineG 3y ago>I can’t imagine why any CEO would want to take the job and be Sam’s boss. There’s no way that goes well. She could be doing a move from The Expanse where she's Jim Holden and Sam is Camina Drummer (plus Adam is Chrisjen Avasarala).
